  • Proliferative Ring of Fire

    Oct 29 2025 by SHRADDHA RAJ SHRIVASTAVA

    Right eye color fundus photo of 57 year old male, diagnosed with both eyes high risk proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR). Posterior pole reveals Neovascularization of disc (NVD) with extensive fibrovascular proliferations (FVPs) overlying the disc and along the arcades. We can also see a florid network of neovascularization (NVEs), with veins showing looping and beading changes. Hard exudates and dot-blot hemorrhages were seen at the macula.

  • Fibrovascular Fortress: Disc in Captivity

    Nov 4 2025 by SHRADDHA RAJ SHRIVASTAVA

    Right eye pseudocolor fundus photo of 67 year old male, diagnosed with both eyes proliferative diabetic retinopathy, showing extensive neovascularisation at the disc (NVD), with table-top configuration of the diabetic tractional retinal detachment (TRD) obscuring the view of the disc and threatening the macula. We can also see a mound of pre-retinal bleed and active neovascular frond nasal to the disc.

  • Neovascular Medusa: A Bad Hair Day at the Optic Disc

    Nov 4 2025 by SHRADDHA RAJ SHRIVASTAVA

    Left eye pseudocolor fundus photo of 67 year old male, diagnosed with both eyes proliferative diabetic retinopathy, showing hair-like fronds of active neovascularisation at the disc (NVD) extending into the vitreous, giving the medusa-head appearance. There is a band of fibrovascular proliferation nasal to the disc, with presence of hard exudates and dot hemorrhages at the macula.

  • Napkin on my Retina: The Diabetic TRD

    Nov 17 2025 by SHRADDHA RAJ SHRIVASTAVA

    Left eye pseudocolor fundus image of a 57 year old patient with poorly controlled diabetes mellitus, presenting with BE tractional retinal detachment (TRD) on a background of high risk proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR). The disc, macula and posterior pole anatomy is obscured and distorted by the extensive tractional fibrovascular component, giving the appearance of a crumpled napkin on this patient's retina.

  • Not 20/20 in Hindsight: Foveal Sparing in a Case of Massive Sub-hyaloid Hemorrhage Due to Untreated PDR

    Mar 4 2026 by SHRADDHA RAJ SHRIVASTAVA

    Left eye pseudocolor fundus image of a treatment naive proliferative diabetic retinopathy case, incidentally detected with a large subhyaloid hemorrhage during a routine ophthalmic examination. Peculiarly, the hemorrhage spared the foveal center, and the patient had 20/20 vision on presentation.
